COTY Pulls Up Q1 View on Solid Demand for Beauty & Skin Care
Read MoreHide Full Article
Coty Inc. (COTY - Free Report) is keen on establishing a solid skincare portfolio as part of its focus on six strategic pillars. Keeping along these lines, the company expects to double its skincare revenues to $500-600 million by fiscal 2025, with further acceleration in fiscal 2023 and beyond.
Coty is witnessing solid beauty demand in the near term, pushing management to raise its first-quarter fiscal 2023 LFL sales growth view. Management now expects the metric to grow 8-9%, compared with the previous view of a 6-8% increase, adjusting for the impact of the Russia exit. The raised view is supported by Prestige and Consumer Beauty performance and Europe, the Americas and Global Travel Retail. The company also believes that the solid sales momentum will generate stronger gross margins, despite persistent inflationary pressures.
A robust fiscal first-quarter view led Coty to reiterate the previously issued fiscal 2023 view despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty. Adjusting for the impact of the Russia exit, management expects 6-8% LFL sales growth in fiscal 2023. Full-year adjusted EBITDA is projected in the range of $955-$965 million. Management anticipates fiscal 2023 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) growth in the mid-teens percentage to 32-33 cents.
Solid skincare business and continued momentum in the rest of the Coty business propelled the company to reinforce its medium-term financial targets. The projects include a 6-8% LFL sales growth and a 9-11% adjusted EBITDA increase. The projection also includes a low 20s EPS CAGR through fiscal 2025.

Skincare Transformation on Track

Coty’s portfolio consists of impressive prestige skincare brands, namely Lancaster, Orveda, philosophy, Kylie Skin and SKKN by Kim.
